Read MoreTips from campers about Shady Lakes Camping & Recreation
- sarahroams You will find a ton of hiking in the area! We recommend the Long Point Trail, at the top of the hike you will overlook the New River Gorge Bridge and the river. We also highly suggest you take a drive to Babcock State Park, visit the grist mill and do some hiking. We also stopped at the Main Overlook at Grandview. It offers a beautiful view of the large horseshoe bend in the New River. Easy walk from the main parking lot. Great spot for watching the sunrise!3 years ago The Outpost at The New River Gorge

- Andrew_331 Lots of great hiking trails in teh National Park Area, let the rangers at the visitor center help find something right for you. We'll be back to rock climb and maybe white water raft in the future. Pizza at Pies and Pints is excellent!2 weeks ago The Outpost at The New River Gorge
